I love the seasonal posts at That Artsy Reader Girl if for no other reason than I get to start looking ahead to what’s come out recently and what’s coming out in the next couple months. Am I supposed to be reading more backlist titles this year? Absolutely I am! But that doesn’t stop me from looking ahead. And the keyword there is “more”; I’m just supposed to look backwards in between new releases.

Here are ten books I hope to read this spring:

1. Deanna Raybourn’s A Ghastly Catastrophe
2. The Book Witch by Meg Shaffer
3. Rainbow Rowell’s Cherry Baby
4. Love by the Book by Jessica George
5. Kory Stamper’s True Color: The Strange and Spectacular Quest to Define Color—from Azure to Zinc Pink
6. Stay for a Spell by Amy Coombe
7. Smash or Pass by Birdie Schae
8. Mac Barnett’s Make Believe: On Telling Stories to Children
9. The Insomniacs by Allison Winn Scotch
10. Behind Five Willows by June Hur

Which books are you looking forward to this spring?
